A welcome return.

A nice surprise this morning, looked out of the window and saw a Nuthatch.

I haven't seen these birds since Jan / Feb and I'm pretty certain there was a pair.

I managed to get a few shots and I am hoping they will stay around for a while so I can get more photos to post. Hope you like these...

We also had a few Great tits around the feeders, I managed to catch this one. Surprisingly these birds are very difficult to get right, even in the shot below the white on the side of the face is over exposed, I normally shoot these the the exposure knocked down a bit, but didn't do the trick this time, maybe that's just me being over critical.

Your little Red-breasted Nuthatches look just like ours on this side of the ocean. And the Tits look like our Black-capped chickadees. Very nice pictures. I see Chickadees daily but like you, I haven't seen Nuthatches now for a long time. Very nice pictures.
